Scania keeps on trucking with production wireless
1 min read
Heavy trucks, buses and engines manufacturer Scania reckons that by improving wireless connectivity throughout manufacturing, it has improved production efficiency while reducing its carbon footprint.
The organisation is now using the ADC InterReach Unison in-building wireless solution to deliver high-quality mobile coverage for employees at its main production facility in Sweden.
Scania says it wanted a system that would reduce the microwave radiation emitted by its employees’ mobile phones, and that InterReach Unison is now providing strong and uniform wireless coverage that allows mobile phones to use less signal strength, while also extending battery life.
“The system stood out in terms of the coverage and signal quality it delivered,” says Leif Riiser, product manager responsible for telephony for Scania. “Not only did it reduce the signal produced by employees’ mobile phones, it also reduced the overall level of microwave radiation given off by mobile phones in our factory, which allowed us to meet our environmental target head-on.”
“Large facilities, like the Scania plant, require systems that can efficiently distribute a cellular signal to every area with high and uniform output,” explaines John Spindler, vice president of product management for ADC.
“With our InterReach Unison system, we offer the highest performance in a system that scales to accommodate facilities of any size, and that performance translates to lower emissions and energy costs for cellular phone users.”
